K-Force 55 vs. K-Force 65

Two full-size tow light bars cover the range that you need. Choosing the right light bar for your vehicle comes down to cab width:

• K-Force Elite 55: The shorter of the two, and the better fit on a standard truck cab or a light-duty wrecker where the roof does not run the full width.
• K-Force Elite 65: The longer bar, with more modules across the face for maximum output. This length is ideal for heavy-duty wreckers and rollbacks with a wide cab roof.

Both run Eclipse TIR optics with 3-watt LEDs and Dual Memory, so on the next power cycle the bar automatically returns to the last two patterns and colors you previously selected. Measure the usable roof width before ordering, since the bar feet need a flat landing on both sides.

Built-In Tow Truck Light Bar Functions

Our tow light bars have come a long way in recent years, giving you a variety of features and options that can be integrated into your light bar. These tow truck lights offer high performance, durability, and compatibility, and they are very simple to use, especially when paired with the STL Supreme Control Box. LED lighting products are definitely among the most popular solutions in towing services and public safety lighting.

Three functions are built into the bar itself rather than bolted on as separate recovery truck lights:

• Built-in amber arrow stick: A directional traffic advisor is built into the bar, so you can sweep traffic around a recovery without fitting a second unit on the cab.
• Stop, tail, and turn: Rear-facing brake, tail, and turn signal functions are integrated into the bar. So, you have the benefit of a tow truck light bar with built-in brake lights.
• Rear work lights: White output facing lights position in the back (over the bed), for hooking up and loading after dark without rigging a separate work light.

Amber Light Rules for Tow and Recovery

Amber is the widely permitted warning color for tow truck strobe lights across the United States, which is why the whole tow range is built around this color:

• Amber: The standard tow and recovery warning color, permitted in most states for roadside work without a special permit.
• White: Used for rear work lights and scene illumination (not for warning output).
• Red and blue: Restricted to authorized emergency vehicles in most states, and generally not permitted on a commercial tow vehicle.

Rules still vary by state, so confirm your local statute before specifying anything other than amber. Browse amber warning lights for perimeter heads that match the bar.

Where to Mount on a Wrecker or Rollback

A wrecker light bar on the cab roof isn’t enough to cover every blind zone on its own, because the boom or bed sits behind the cab:

• Cab roof: The primary position for the light bar, giving 360-degree warning plus the arrow stick for traffic direction.
• Rear of the bed or boom: Surface-mount heads can be placed at the back of a rollback, where the roof bar is blocked from the rear view by the deck.
• Side and fender: Perimeter heads marking the truck’s working width when it is parked on a shoulder.

Browse grille and surface-mount lights for those perimeter positions, since a rollback light bar on the cab leaves the rear of a long bed unlit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tow Truck Light Bars

What size tow truck light bar do I need?

The size you need depends on the width of the cab roof (rather than the class of truck). The K-Force 55 suits a standard cab or light-duty wrecker, while the K-Force 65 is built for heavy-duty wreckers and rollbacks with a wider roof. Measure the usable flat span across the cab before ordering, because the bar feet need a solid landing at both ends.

Do tow truck light bars have brake lights?

Yes, both tow bars include stop, tail, and turn functionality built into the rear of the bar. That gives you brake, running light, and turn signal output at roof height, which is a real benefit on a rollback where the bed can block the factory lights from view when the deck is loaded.

What is the arrow stick on a tow light bar?

An arrow stick is a directional traffic advisor built into the rear of the bar. It sweeps left, right, or split to move traffic around your truck while you work a recovery on the shoulder. A built-in arrow stick means you do not need to mount a separate traffic advisor on the cab.

What color light bar can a tow truck use?

Amber is the standard and most widely permitted warning color for tow and recovery vehicles in the United States. White is used for rear work lights and scene illumination (not warning). Red and blue are restricted to authorized emergency vehicles in most states, so check your state vehicle code before specifying anything other than amber.

Do I need extra lights besides the roof bar?

Most tow builds add perimeter heads alongside the roof bar. A long bed or a raised boom can block the bar from the rear view, so surface-mounted heads at the back of the deck and along the sides will fill the zones the roof bar cannot reach. This matters most when the truck is parked on a shoulder in live traffic.

What warranty comes with a tow truck light bar?

All SpeedTech Lights tow truck light bars carry a 5-year warranty, which covers the LED modules and driver circuitry. Bars are stocked in-house at our Texas warehouse for 1-2 day order processing, and government purchase orders are accepted.
